Why is there something in my egg?

Meat spots are most commonly found in the egg white and typically formed from pieces of tissue picked up by the egg when passing through the oviduct. Blood spots are usually found in egg yolks and occur due to ruptured blood vessels in the hen's ovaries or oviduct.

Why do you remove the chalaza from egg?

They're actually there to keep the yolk in place. Growing up, my mom taught me to take a fork and remove them from the egg before baking. She reasoned that the chalaza can harden while baking, resulting in an occasional \u2014 and unwanted \u2014 chewy particle in your baked goods.
